Designing rockets to carry payloads or people safely into space requires diligent work. The engine must operate at high pressures and temperatures, and the vehicle must carry a very large amount of propellant yet ... it is assembled and again after it is assembled. So, designing, building and testing a new rocket vehicle to take payloads or people into space requires a large number of people—maybe thousands—and many years—maybe five to ...
A simple spacecraft might take as little as six months to design and build. Large, manned spacecraft might take about three to five years using modern methods. By comparison, the first Apollo took about four years to build in the 1960s. The first Shuttle took about nine years to ...
... it depends how fast the spaceship can travel and the route it takes. The Apollo astronauts took about two days to get to the Moon—that is, 48 hours, and three days, or 72 hours, to ... by Hazel McAndrews

When using the ISS or Shuttle telephone, it does not take much longer to make a connection than it does here on Earth. Connections are not a problem. The ground controllers are in constant communication— with the exception of some short periods of time—and whenever the astronaut wants to ...
... a very difficult question. The original costs varied from Shuttle to Shuttle. The early ones, like Columbia, cost approximately $2 billion, in round numbers. The later ones cost even more. This number does ... its facilities at around $150 billion. Of course at this point, the Space Shuttle program is facing retirement in 2010, so in a very short while we will not have the capability to build ...

... time it takes to travel to the Moon is largely a function of the amount of energy used to leave an orbit around the Earth. It could vary from two or three days to longer depending on ... fuel. A trip taking closer to a week may be more realistic, with Space Station stops. There are some rocket motors, called ion engines, which accelerate very, very slowly (but constantly) and take a long time to get ...
The time it takes to travel from any point in space to another point is completely dependent upon the form of propulsion used. For astronauts these days ... scale of the solar system It would take a spacecraft about nine months to get to Mars. The inner planets such as Mercury and Venus would also take less than a year to reach. The outer planets are ...
It is safe to say space hotels will not be as cheap as hotels on Earth. How much it costs to build, maintain and stay at a space hotel will depend on many outside factors: the economic conditions of the time; whether safe, cheap and reusable launch vehicles are designed and built; and whether there is a strong ...
It's certainly plausible to build a community or city on the Moon, and perhaps more than one, but doing so will depend on several factors. One factor is finding useful things to do on ... will be important, so that it's not just a NASA science outpost. Another strong factor is how the base is designed and built. One designed around a strictly mechanical life-support structure will ...
